no pain. In one case however, the vomiting
continued, and the patient became pros

was mustard which was freely used. All
the family have recovered except one, and
he is improving slowly.

A Savannah Actors Success.

Mr. Frank Readick, who is well known
here for his connection with the Fords the
season previous to this last one, seems to be
securing fame in Kansas. A late copy of
the Courier, Winfield, has the following:
"Mr. Frank Readick as Arthur in the
Pearl of Savoy the lover of Marie was
the best ever seen here. Unlike most of the
actors we have seen interpret this
part, he had the proper conception of
it, and was manly to a high degree,
never descending to the trickery INDUCED
in by some to gain applause, but relying
upon his own powers in the passionate line,
and strong personality in the comedy
situation. He received call at the end of
the third act, where he defends his be-
trothed from the insults of his commander,
which he gracefully acknowledged in front
of the curtain with Miss Goodrich. Mr.
Readick has certainly won the admiration
of our theatre-goers this week by his ex-
cellent acting and beautiful voice"

burglar, for by tracks discovered around

went up the stairway to the third floor. He
entered the room of George Mercer, Jr.

troubled. and it seems the watch was the
only thing missed He left through the

fielding and daring base running, easily won
the game. The hard hitting broke up Birn-
ingham's infeld little, but the
outfielding was superb. Kelly pitched
four innings and Masran the other five, and
both were batted freely. Widner did
earnest work for New Orleans, and was
grandly backed up Both clubs left to

The Stable Cure,
From the Boston Post. Sept. !

From the Boston Post, Sept. T.
Twas not a little startled yesterday at
meeting on the street in the best of health
apparently an old acquaintance, whom
had supposed to be filling consumptive's
grave long ere this. The last time that
heard of him was about a year ago, and
then he had been given up by the doctors as
hopeless case. / congratulated him on his
recovery, but | must confess that my live
lest emotion i'll regard to him was one of
curiosity. In answer to my inquiries he
told me that when the medical men had ex-
hausted their resources he determined to
put in practice plan of his own. Accord
ingly he iourneyed by easy stages to the
Blue Mountain region of Virginia, where he
established himself in a farrn house, and
bought horse. He spent the whole day
in the open air, taking care of the
steed himself, and riding him about the
neighborhood. At first, he told me, his
weakness was such that he could not stay in
the saddle more than Is or 20 minutes at a
time, and he had to pull up very soon if the
horse broke into a trot. Every day, how
ever he became a little stronger, and in a
couple of months he was able to ride 10 or
20 miles on a stretch with very little fatigue
He attributed his recovery in part to the
fact that he not only rode but gfoomed his
horse, and busted himself an hour or two in
the stable every Gay. In this opinion he
confirmed what remember hearing an old
physician say years and years ago, namely,
that "horse barn" as he called it, is one of
the healthiest places in the world. For
those who love horses the stable cure would
be such a pleasant one that physician who
prescribed it might be sure that his dlrec-
tions would be followed to the letter.
